In Zhu Ying's view,
that was simply the truth.
After all, it could not possibly be such a coincidence. Given Xu Miaojin and Mu Ya's extraordinary family backgrounds, if he truly became completely entangled with both women, then the Marquis of Victory's residence would be tied to two of Great Ming's old noble families.
